1 Source Terms Sources of radioactivity in the primary coolant are created by fission and activation processes in the reactor. The NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design uses a shared systems source term for systems that receive input from all six modules, such as radwaste systems. The shared systems source term is calculated as one module running at a design basis failed fuel fraction and five modules running at a realistic failed fuel fraction. The secondary coolant may become contaminated by primary-to-secondary leakage through the steam generator. This section discusses two source terms for the primary and secondary coolants: a design basis source term and a realistic source term.

The design basis source term provides a basis for design capacities of waste management components, performance of the waste management systems and design of radiological monitoring equipment. The design basis source term is also used for the evaluation of shielding (General Design Criterion 61). The coolant source terms used for dose consequences of design basis events are found in Section 15.0. Equipment qualification is discussed in Section 3.11.

A realistic source term is used to calculate the quantity of radioactive materials released annually in liquid and gaseous effluents during normal plant operations, including anticipated operational occurrences, to demonstrate compliance with effluent limits of 10 CFR 20 Appendix B, Table 2, and the as low as reasonably achievable objectives of 10 CFR 50 Appendix I. The methodology used to develop the primary and secondary coolant realistic source terms is described in TR-123242, (Reference 11.1-1).

The plant is designed with up to six NuScale Power Modules (NPMs) partially immersed in a pool of water, called the reactor pool. Because of this design, there is a potential for neutron activation of the reactor pool water. Additionally, given the relative proximity of the secondary coolant to the reactor core, there is the potential for neutron activation of the secondary coolant. However, the production of radionuclides in the secondary coolant is several orders of magnitude less than that in the primary coolant and is considered negligible. The production of radionuclides in the reactor pool water is discussed in Section 12.2.1.

1.1 Design Basis Reactor Coolant Activity The design basis source term uses the same methodology described in TR-123242, except it assumes that fuel defects are an order-of-magnitude greater than the realistic coolant source term (Table 11.1-2). These defects are assumed to be uniformly distributed throughout the reactor core. The primary coolant design basis source term is provided in Table 11.1-4.

1.1.1 Fission Products The isotopic inventory is developed for a single fuel assembly irradiated to the value presented in Table A-1 in TR-123242 (Reference 11.1-1). The quantity of cale US460 SDAA 11.1-1 Revision 1

The parameters used in the calculation of the coolant source terms, including values for the fission product escape rate coefficients, coolant cleanup rate, and demineralizer effectiveness, are listed in Table 11.1-2. The quantity of fission products in the fuel pins and the release to the primary coolant are calculated using the methodology in TR-123242 (Reference 11.1-1).

1.1.2 Activation Products The permeation of tritium from the fuel to the primary coolant is modeled using the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Tritium Management Model (Reference 11.1-3). The tritium permeation rate is linearly scaled from 4100 MWt to 250 MWt, and adjusted for a 95 percent capacity factor, as shown in Table 11.1-2.

In the primary coolant system, neutron activation of various constituents in the water forms activation products. These activation products are independent of the failed fuel fraction. The neutron activation products include N-16, H-3, Ar-41, and C-14.

Because of its short half-life, N-16 is not of concern for offsite dose considerations. Table 12.2-4 lists the N-16 concentration at various locations in the primary coolant loop.

The predominant tritium production reactions are high-energy neutron interactions with lithium and boron isotopes.

The concentrations of tritium in the coolant streams vary depending on whether the primary coolant letdown to liquid radioactive waste system is recycled to the reactor pool, recycled back to chemical and volume control system (CVCS) makeup, or discharged through liquid radioactive waste system. The various tritium concentrations are presented in Table 11.1-8.

In the absence of significant N-16 in the primary coolant near the steam generators, natural argon can be injected into the primary coolant to improve the sensitivity of primary-to-secondary leak rate calculations. When the injected argon is activated in the reactor core, Ar-41 is produced, which can be used to detect leakage from the primary system.

The C-14 primary coolant equilibrium activity is calculated using the following equation:

A C14 = P C14 x f Eq. 11.1-1 where, AC14 = The equilibrium activity of C-14 in the primary coolant (Ci),

cale US460 SDAA 11.1-2 Revision 1

f = The fraction of C-14 retained in the primary coolant.

1.1.3 Corrosion Products The concentration values of radioactive corrosion and wear products in the reactor coolant are developed using guidance from ANSI/ANS 18.1-1999 (Reference 11.1-2). The specific parameters for adjusting the ANSI/ANS 18.1-1999 reference values are listed in Table 11.1-3.

1.2 Design Basis Secondary Coolant Activity The design basis secondary coolant activity is determined from an assumed primary-to-secondary leak rate (Table 11.1-2) assuming a design basis primary coolant activity concentration (Table 11.1-4). The secondary coolant design basis source term is listed in Table 11.1-5.

1.2.1 Steam Generator Leakage For the radionuclides that enter the secondary coolant, various removal mechanisms are also incorporated that affect the equilibrium concentration in the secondary coolant. The removal mechanisms include steam leaks in the Turbine Building, condensate polishers, and radioactive decay.

1.2.2 Noble Gases in Secondary Coolant Activity Source Term Noble gases are removed in the secondary coolant by the condenser air removal system. Therefore, only pass-through concentrations of noble gases are assumed to be present in the steam generators. The concentration of noble gases in the secondary coolant is calculated by multiplying the concentration of the noble gas in the primary coolant by the primary-to-secondary leak rate, and dividing by the sum of the secondary flow rate and primary-to-secondary leak rate. The secondary coolant noble gas concentration after passing through the condenser is negligible.

1.2.3 Other Isotopes in Secondary Coolant Activity Source Term For radioisotopes other than tritium, it is assumed there are no steam leaks. The modeling process for secondary coolant concentrations is described in Section 4.2 of Reference 11.1-1. The condensate system is designed such that 100 percent of the secondary coolant flow passes through the condensate demineralizers. The parameters used to calculate the secondary design basis source term are listed in Table 11.1-2 and Table 11.1-4.

1.3 Realistic Reactor Coolant and Secondary Coolant Activity Source Terms A realistic source term is used to evaluate normal expected effluent releases as described in Section 11.2 and Section 11.3.

The liquid waste management system is called the liquid radioactive waste system (LRWS). The LRWS is designed to collect, hold, and process liquid radioactive waste generated from normal operations and anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs). After processing and satisfactory sampling, liquids may be recycled or discharged. The LRWS is operated in a batch mode by an operator located in the waste management control room (WMCR).

The LRWS receives radioactive fluids from the chemical and volume control system (CVCS), the solid radioactive waste system (SRWS), the containment evacuation system (CES), the reactor component cooling water system (RCCWS), mixtures from the boron addition system, waste water from pool cooling and cleanup system (PCWS),

contaminated liquids from the balance-of-plant drain system, and the radioactive waste drain system (RWDS). The LRWS components are located in the Reactor Building (RXB) and in the Radioactive Waste Building (RWB).

2.1 Design Bases The LRWS has no safety-related function and is not risk significant. A failure of the LRWS does not adversely affect safety-related systems or components. Table 11.2-8 identifies SSC classifications for LRWS. The LRWS is not credited for mitigation of design basis accidents and has no safe shutdown functions. General Design Criteria (GDC) 2, 3, 60, and 61 are considered in the design of the LRWS. Section 11.2.2.6 contains further detail.

The LRWS is designed to comply with the as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) philosophy of 10 CFR 20.1101(b) and the dose limits of 10 CFR 20.1301, 10 CFR 20.1302, and 10 CFR 50 Appendix I ALARA design objectives, including the effluent concentration limits of 10 CFR 20 Appendix B, Table 2 and 40 CFR 190 as implemented under 10 CFR 20.1301(e). A design objective of the LRWS is to provide the capability for sampling to ensure that liquid releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents are ALARA. Section 12.1 contains more detail about ways ALARA is implemented into the design.

2.2 System Description The LRWS includes tanks, pumps, filters, and ion exchangers to receive, store, process, and monitor liquid radioactive waste to be recycled or released to the environment in accordance with regulations.

The LRWS collects, processes, and releases radioactive and potentially radioactive liquid wastes produced by the plant during the plant lifecycle. Separate collection tanks are provided for low-conductivity waste subsystem (LCW), high-conductivity waste subsystem (HCW), and detergent wastes. Oily waste is removed by an oil separator, collected in drums and sent to the SRWS for eventual shipment offsite.

The remaining fluid in the separator is sent to the HCW Collection Tanks. Chemical wastes are collected as a part of the RWDS. Mixed wastes are collected locally in drums and sent offsite. The LRWS processing equipment flow path consists of two cale US460 SDAA 11.2-1 Revision 1

The liquid wastes from the various sources are temporarily stored in collection tanks located in the RWB. System equipment and components are located in stainless-steel-lined, shielded cubicles as necessary to contain leaks and for radiation shielding. Other equipment areas, located outside of steel-lined cubicles, have concrete surfaces that are sealed with a qualified coating. The system operates on a batch basis, using skid-based processing equipment that includes filters, ion exchangers, and reverse osmosis components. Subsequent to processing, the liquid is routed to sample tanks to monitor the quality of the liquid before recycling or release. If the water quality is not acceptable, the water is returned to a collection tank for further treatment.

The LRWS is designed with sufficient capacity to process liquid wastes during periods of equipment maintenance or failures and during periods of abnormal waste generation. To meet these processing demands, interconnections between LRWS components, redundant equipment, skid-based equipment, liquid holdup storage, and treatment capacity are provided in the design.

The LRWS is designed to control leakage and facilitate access, operation, inspection, testing, and maintenance to maintain radiation exposures to operating and maintenance personnel as low as is reasonably achievable and to minimize contamination of the facility.

The LRWS design includes the following maintenance considerations:

  • location of redundant permanent plant equipment in separate shielded cubicles
  • clean-in-place provisions to reduce the radiation source term before maintenance
  • redundant components allow uninterrupted waste operation and flexibility in maintenance scheduling When the sample results of the LRWS meet discharge limits, the utility water system (UWS) discharges the treated effluent to the environment. The UWS dilutes the liquid effluent further before discharge.

2.2.1 Low Conductivity Waste Subsystem The LCW consists of coolant-grade boron and hydrogen-containing wastes with high radioactivity concentrations. The CVCS letdown during normal operation and reactor heatup, along with the pressurizer vent letdown before and during reactor shutdown, are routed to the LRWS degasifiers for hydrogen and fission gas removal. The stripped gases are sent to the gaseous radioactive waste system (GRWS) for holdup and radioactive decay. The liquid waste is routed to the LCW collection tanks. The LCW collection tank fluid can be sent back to the degasifiers for additional gas removal if sample results determine it necessary. The LCW collection tanks have connections to be purged with nitrogen for inerting, as required.

cale US460 SDAA 11.2-2 Revision 1

phase separator tanks, liquid from the SRWS dewatering process, and pool water from the PCWS and out-of-specification boric acid batches from the boron addition system.

The LCW collection tanks provide for sampling of the waste on a batch basis before sending to the LCW processing equipment. The LCW processing equipment is designed to handle filtering and removal of radioactive waste. The treated liquid waste is routed to the LCW sample tanks for sampling. The treated effluent is either recycled for use within the plant or discharged to the environment through the UWS. The UWS dilutes the liquid effluent further before discharge to the environment. If the LCW sample tank sample results do not meet specified requirements, the waste can be returned to the collection tanks for reprocessing.

Reactor coolant letdown may be sent from the LCW collection tanks to the LCW sample tanks and then back to CVCS, bypassing the LCW processing equipment.

Treated liquid waste may also be routed to the HCW sample tanks or the drum dryer skid.

2.2.2 High Conductivity Waste Subsystem The HCW consists of liquid radioactive waste containing a varying degree of suspended solids and low radioactivity concentration. The HCW collection tanks collect waste from the following sources:

  • The RXB floor drains through RWDS
  • The RWB floor drains through RWDS
  • The balance-of-plant drain system chemical waste collection tank
  • The PCWS pool surge control tank overflow
  • The RWDS Reactor Building reactor component cooling water system drain tank
  • The RWDS Reactor Building chemical drain tank The HCW collection tank contents can be sampled before sending to the HCW processing equipment. The HCW processing equipment contains two carbon filter vessels. The HCW may be routed through the HCW processing equipment to the LCW processing equipment for additional treatment. Treated effluent is routed to the HCW sample tanks for sampling. When the sample result meets discharge limits, the treated effluent is discharged to the environment via UWS, or it is recycled for use within the plant. If needed, the waste can be returned to the HCW or LCW collection tanks for reprocessing.

2.2.3 Chemical Waste Processing Chemical waste is collected in the RWDS. If it is contaminated, operators send it to the HCW collection tanks. The RCCWS drains are collected separately in the RWDS to prevent the introduction of nitrite into resins that may be used in the LCW processing equipment to avoid the potential for exothermic reactions. The cale US460 SDAA 11.2-3 Revision 1

2.2.4 Detergent Waste Subsystem Detergent wastes from personnel decontamination showers and small component decontamination sinks are collected in a dedicated collection tank and sampled.

Wastes are then discharged through a cartridge filter if the sample results indicate that the specified requirements are satisfied. If the detergent sample result is not within the discharge limits, the contents go to the drum dryer skid. Detergent wastes are collected and processed separately to prevent degradation of the HCW and LCW processing equipment. There is a single train of detergent waste due to the low volume of waste generation expected, as there is no on-site laundry for the design.

2.2.5 Off-Normal Operations The LRWS is designed to be tolerant of failures and abnormal conditions as summarized in Table 11.2-2.

2.2.6 Safety Evaluation The LRWS complies with the following GDC:

  • GDC 2 as it relates to structures and components of the LRWS, by using the guidance of RG 1.143 for the seismic, safety and quality classifications.
  • GDC 3 as it relates to protecting the LRWS from the effects of fires or explosions by avoiding the generation of explosive gas mixtures and exothermic reactions with ion exchange resins.
  • GDC 60 as it relates to the design of the LRWS to control releases of radioactive liquid effluents generated during normal reactor operations, including AOOs (Section 11.2.3).
  • GDC 61 as it relates to radioactive waste systems being designed to provide for adequate safety under normal and postulated accident conditions, and designed with suitable shielding for radiation protection and with appropriate containment, confinement, and filtering systems.

The LRWS components are evaluated and classified as RW-IIa, RW-IIb or RW-IIc, as described in RG 1.143, by comparing the radioisotopic content of the component with the A1 and A2 quantities listed in Appendix A of 10 CFR 71. The safety classification for the LRWS components applies to components up to and including the nearest isolation device. The resulting safety classifications for LRWS components are listed in Table 11.2-1. The applicable standards from RG 1.143 Table 1 are used in the design, construction, and testing of the LRWS components. The applicable design criteria from RG 1.143 Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4 are used in the design analysis of the LRWS components.

The design of the principle components, piping, and valves that contain radioactive fluids comply with the seismic and quality requirements of RG 1.143.

The design of the LRWS utilizes and conforms to the guidance provided in RG 1.143, including Branch Technical Position 11-6.

The RWB safety classification is described in Section 3.2 and presented in Table 3.2-1.

2.3 Radioactive Effluent Releases 2.3.1 Radioactive Releases The system design reduces liquid effluent discharges from the LRWS to the environment by adequately processing liquid wastes and monitoring releases.

The design employs the use of a single point of discharge for liquid effluents to the environment through the LRWS discharge header, which is sent to the UWS discharge basin.

The calculation of liquid effluent releases is consistent with RG 1.112, as modified by Technical Report TR-123242 (Reference 11.2-1). The calculation of off-site dose consequences from normal liquid effluents is consistent with RG 1.109.

The total resultant liquid release concentrations are provided in Table 11.2-9, and demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 20 Appendix B, Table 2.

The maximum individual doses are calculated using the LADTAP II Code, using the input parameters listed in Table 11.2-6. The resultant doses are presented in Table 11.2-7 and demonstrate compliance with the limits of 10 CFR 50 Appendix I.

L Item 11.2-1: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will calculate doses to members of the public using the site-specific parameters, compare those liquid effluent doses to the numerical design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1302 and 40 CFR 190.

2.3.2 Compliance with Branch Technical Position 11-6 The only outdoor tank expected to contain radioactive liquids is the PCWS pool surge control storage tank, described in FSAR Section 9.1. The PCWS pool surge control storage tank secondary containment tank has sufficient volume to store the contents of the PCWS pool surge control storage tank plus the contents of related piping. The radionuclide concentration water of the PCWS pool surge cale US460 SDAA 11.2-5 Revision 1

L Item 11.2-2: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will perform a site-specific evaluation of the consequences of an accidental release of radioactive liquid from the pool surge control storage tank in accordance with NRC Branch Technical Position 11-6.

2.3.3 Dilution Factors The utility water discharge flow rate is credited in the calculation of the discharge concentrations, as described in Reference 11.2-1. The design ensures that the discharge concentrations are within 10 CFR 20 Appendix B, Table 2, limits. The unrestricted area doses are calculated using a dilution factor as shown in Table 11.2-6, which results in the unrestricted area doses being within 10 CFR 50, Appendix I limits.

L Item 11.2-3: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will perform a site-specific evaluation using the site-specific source term and dilution flow for liquid effluent releases, and confirm that the discharge concentrations do not exceed the limits specified by 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2.

2.3.4 Site-Specific Cost-Benefit Analysis L Item 11.2-4: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will perform a cost-benefit analysis as required by 10 CFR 50.34a and 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, to demonstrate conformance with regulatory requirements. This cost-benefit analysis is to be performed using the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.110.

2.4 Testing and Inspection Requirements Section 14.2 describes the LRWS preoperational tests and includes the applicable testing and inspection requirements from RG 1.143.

The design incorporates inspection and testing provisions to enable periodic evaluation of the operability and requires functional performance of active components of the system.

2.5 Instrumentation and Controls The plant controls and indications for filling waste collection tanks are automatic and are controlled by the plant control system with indication in the WMCR. The atmospheric tanks in LRWS include high-level alarms and controls to prevent overflow. If a collection tank high-level alarm is received, system valves automatically realign to direct the incoming waste flows toward the collection tank that is in the standby mode.

with totalizer, and leak detection that monitors the pipes annulus. The double-walled pipes annulus is pressurized to be greater than the process or groundwater pressure and is alarmed to stop the discharge flow upon an indication of low pressure.

A liquid radioactive waste discharge automatically isolates upon an alarm due to a low dilution flow indication, a low pressure indication in the discharge pipe annulus, or a high-radiation alarm in a discharge line radiation monitor.

The gaseous radioactive waste system (GRWS) design processes the gaseous waste stream from the liquid radioactive waste system (LRWS) degasifier and the containment evacuation system (CES), provide holdup for radioactive decay of xenon and krypton, and convey the gaseous effluent to the Radioactive Waste Building heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system (RWBVS), which transports the effluent to the Reactor Building HVAC system (RBVS) for monitoring and release. The GRWS filters out particulate carryover and delays the noble gases through activated charcoal beds until they have decayed sufficiently to allow release to the environment. Design and performance of the charcoal delay system is in accordance with NUREG-0017, "Calculation of Releases of Radioactive Materials in Gaseous and Liquid Effluents from Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR-GALE Code)," April 1985, as modified by TR-123242 (Reference 11.3-1).

Exhaust flow from the RWBVS and RBVS are combined and monitored by the RBVS exhaust stack radiation effluent monitor before release to the environment (Section 11.5).

Primary gaseous effluent sources, besides gaseous radioactive waste, include the CES (Section 9.3.6), RWBVS (Section 9.4.3) and other sources exhausted by the RBVS (Section 9.4.2). In addition, small releases that occur in the Turbine Generator Building from the condenser air removal system (CARS) (Section 10.4.2) and turbine gland sealing system (Section 10.4.3) are monitored, but directly released to the environment.

3.1 Design Bases The GRWS serves no safety function and is not risk-significant. Table 11.3-10 identifies SSC classifications for GWMS. The GRWS does not mitigate design basis accidents and has no safe shutdown functions. General Design Criteria (GDC) 2, 3, 60, and 61 were considered in the design of the GRWS.

3.2 System Description The GRWS is in the RWB and is a passive, once-through, ambient temperature charcoal delay system that receives hydrogen-bearing gas containing fission gases from the LRWS degasifier. The GRWS also receives gaseous waste inputs from the individual NuScale Power Modules (NPMs) via the CES, if high radiation is detected in the CES exhaust. The GRWS filters particulate carryover, removes moisture, delays the gas to allow radioactive decay, and conveys it to the RBVS via the RWBVS for release to the environment through the plant exhaust stack as a monitored release (Section 11.5).

Nitrogen from the nitrogen distribution system dilutes the waste gas input from the liquid radioactive waste degasifier (and potentially CES) to maintain a hydrogen concentration of less than 4 percent. Because the waste gas input flow is not constant, the nitrogen supply maintains a positive GRWS pressure and a constant flow. The waste gas input into the GRWS passes through a vapor condenser package assembly that contains a waste gas cooler (cooled by chilled water) and a moisture separator. The moisture separator includes level control drain valves piped to the equipment drain sump in the radioactive waste drain system (RWDS). The drain line passes through a drain trap to prevent radioactive gas from passing to the RWDS in cale US460 SDAA 11.3-1 Revision 1

manual sample port. If high oxygen levels are detected, the inlet stream to the GRWS automatically isolates and a nitrogen purge flushes the GRWS. Operators manually initiate termination of nitrogen flushing and restart of normal operations.

The waste gas passes through a charcoal guard bed located in an ambient temperature-controlled shielded cubicle. Because the guard bed is at ambient room temperature, the guard bed warms the gas from the gas cooler (lowering its relative humidity) to improve fission gas capture efficiency in the decay beds. The guard bed also acts as a backup moisture-removal device. The guard bed contains a safety relief valve, differential pressure instrumentation, and a means to dry or replace charcoal. Operators manually initiate charcoal drying using remotely-operated valves and a normally deenergized charcoal drying heater, which provide a heated nitrogen flow to the guard bed. The heated, moisture-laden nitrogen recycles back to the inlet of the vapor condenser. The guard bed also contains a fire detector that automatically activates a nitrogen purge upon detecting a fire.

The conditioned waste gas then flows into either one of two charcoal decay beds, each decay bed consisting of four charcoal vessels connected in series. Entrance into the first vessel and exit from the last vessel is through the top of the vessel to minimize the potential of charcoal loss. Each decay bed contains activated charcoal optimized for xenon and krypton retention. Like the guard bed, the decay beds contain differential pressure instrumentation, fire detection instrumentation, safety relief valves, and the ability to either dry or replace charcoal. In addition, the decay beds contain radiation monitors that automatically isolate flow in the event of a high radiation indication.

The processed waste gas goes to the RWBVS, which interfaces with the RBVS that monitors the effluent path to the environment. The GRWS outlet also has an offline radiation monitor with the capability to take samples before being sent to the ventilation systems.

The gaseous radioactive waste process design is illustrated in Figure 11.3-1.

Table 11.3-1 provides the GRWS design parameters.

3.2.1 Component Description This section describes the key GRWS equipment. Table 11.3-2 summarizes specific component design parameters. Design codes, standards, and materials for construction of these components are consistent with RG 1.143, Table 1.

3.2.1.1 Waste Gas Cooler The waste gas cooler is a stainless steel, double-pipe heat exchanger that cools the incoming waste gas stream from the LRWS and CES. Chilled water (shell side) cools the waste gas stream (tube side) to condense water vapor from the gas stream to protect the charcoal beds from moisture.

cale US460 SDAA 11.3-2 Revision 1

The stainless steel moisture separator collects condensed water from the waste gas cooler. Level instrumentation controls the outlet drain valve. The condensate goes to the equipment drain waste sump in the RWDS. The drain line passes through a drain trap to prevent radioactive gases from passing to the RWDS.

3.2.1.3 Charcoal Guard Bed The charcoal guard bed is an American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section VIII stainless steel vessel located in an ambient temperature-controlled cubicle that warms the waste gas stream, thus reducing its relative humidity. The guard bed also removes additional moisture in the waste gas stream to improve fission gas capture efficiency and protect the charcoal decay beds. The charcoal guard bed includes a safety relief valve, differential pressure instrumentation, a fire detector, and a means to dry with a charcoal drying heater or replace the charcoal, if needed.

3.2.1.4 Charcoal Decay Beds The two charcoal decay beds each consist of four ASME Section VIII stainless steel decay vessels connected in series. The vessels contain activated charcoal to allow the waste gas radionuclides to decay sufficiently before being released. Each decay bed train has a pressure relief valve, differential pressure instrumentation, and a fire detector that upon sensing a fire automatically activates a nitrogen purge. The exit of each of the two decay beds has a radiation monitor that automatically isolates the bed in the event of a high radiation signal.

3.2.1.5 Charcoal Drying Heater If needed, the charcoal drying heater is a manually initiated, stainless steel electric heater that heats nitrogen gas from the nitrogen distribution system to flow through the charcoal guard bed to dry the charcoal. Operators can also send heated nitrogen to the charcoal decay beds. After exiting the guard bed or decay beds, the nitrogen is routed back to the inlet of the waste gas cooler to remove the moisture. The charcoal drying heater has a temperature controller with a high temperature cutoff. If a fire is detected in a charcoal bed, the heater is automatically deenergized.

3.2.1.6 Oxygen and Hydrogen Analyzers There are a total of three independent oxygen analyzers and two hydrogen analyzers that continuously monitor the GRWS. Two redundant oxygen analyzers and two redundant hydrogen analyzers are downstream of the moisture separator, upstream of the charcoal guard bed, and indicate and annunciate locally, in the main control room (MCR), and in the WMCR. In the event that high oxygen levels exceed 1 percent, the system initiates an alarm locally and in both the WMCR and MCR. If the oxygen level reaches cale US460 SDAA 11.3-3 Revision 1

hydrogen monitor ensures detection of a maximum concentration of 4 percent with notification of a high-high alarm. The high alarm at approximately one-half of the maximum oxygen concentration includes a local, WMCR and MCR notification.

The design of the gas analyzer instruments is to be non-sparking. Gas analyzers have sensor checks, functional checks, and calibrations performed in accordance with vendor recommendations.

3.2.2 Malfunction Analysis Table 11.3-3 provides a summary of a malfunction analysis of the GRWS.

3.2.3 Design Safety Evaluation The GRWS complies with the following GDC found in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A:

  • GDC 2 as it relates to structures and components of the GRWS using the guidance of RG 1.143 for the seismic, safety, and quality classifications
  • GDC 3 as it relates to protecting the GRWS from the effects of a detonation of a hydrogen-oxygen mixture by preventing such mixtures from occurring
  • GDC 60 as it relates to the design of the GRWS to control releases of radioactive gaseous effluents generated during normal reactor operations, including AOOs
  • GDC 61 as it relates to radioactive waste systems being designed to provide for adequate safety under normal and postulated accident conditions, and designed with suitable shielding for radiation protection and with appropriate containment, confinement, and filtering systems There are design features that comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1406 following the guidance of RG 4.21, to minimize contamination of the facility and the environment, facilitate eventual decommissioning, and minimize the generation of radioactive waste. Section 12.3.6 provides additional details.

The gaseous radioactive waste structures, systems, and components design complies with the codes and standards provided in RG 1.143, Table 1 through 4.

The applicable design criteria from RG1.143, Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4 are used in the design analysis of the GRWS components. The safety classification for the GRWS components applies to components, up to and including the nearest isolation device. Table 11.3-2 provides the design parameters of major components, including safety classification and operating conditions.

Table 11.3-4 provides the inputs. The comparison demonstrates that the overall expected gaseous releases are within the release limits.

The GASPAR II Code is used to calculate the maximum individual doses at the exclusion area boundary. Table 11.3-6 tabulates the input parameters. Table 11.3-7 tabulates the resultant doses and demonstrates compliance with the limits of 10 CFR 50 Appendix I.

L Item 11.3-2: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will calculate doses to members of the public using the site-specific parameters, compare those gaseous effluent doses to the numerical design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1302 and 40 CFR 190.

3.3.1 Radioactive Effluent Releases and Dose Calculation due to Gaseous Radioactive Waste System Leak or Failure The analysis of a GRWS leak or failure follows the guidance of Branch Technical Position 11-5 and demonstrates compliance with regulatory limits. The dose consequence analysis evaluates a postulated event in which the GRWS fails. The analysis used in determining the radionuclide content of the effluents assumes that 1 percent of the operating fission product inventory in the core is released to the primary coolant. Table 11.3-8 tabulates the release source term. The dose consequences are calculated using the Radionuclide Transport and Removal and Dose (RADTRAD) code using the two-hour exclusion area boundary atmospheric dispersion factor from Table 2.0-1. Table 11.3-8 presents the resultant offsite doses.

L Item 11.3-3: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will perform an analysis in accordance with Branch Technical Position 11-5 using the site-specific parameters.

3.5.3 Fire Detectors Each of the charcoal beds has fire detectors to indicate the presence of a fire. If a fire is detected in a guard or decay bed, the GRWS waste gas inlet valve automatically closes and the nitrogen supply valve automatically opens to the associated charcoal bed.

3.5.4 Waste Gas Flow Instrument The waste gas flow instrument is downstream of the moisture separator and downstream of the decay beds in the outlet line. Nitrogen flow maintains maintain a minimum flow through the charcoal beds.

3.5.5 Moisture Instrument The waste gas stream contains a moisture level instrument at the outlet of the guard bed. If high moisture is detected, the waste gas inlet valve to the GRWS closes to stop the system flow.

3.5.6 Charcoal Bed Process Radiation Monitors The outlet of each of the two charcoal decay beds has process radiation monitors.

If high radiation is detected, the charcoal bed outlet valve closes.

3.5.7 Gaseous Radioactive Waste System Outlet Process Radiation Monitor The outlet of the GRWS also has a radiation monitor. If high radiation is detected, the GRWS outlet valve closes to stop system flow to the RWBVS.

The solid waste management system is called the solid radioactive waste system (SRWS). The SRWS is designed to process both wet solid waste (WSW) and dry solid waste (DSW) from various plant systems produced during normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences, including startup, shutdown, and refueling operations. The Radioactive Waste Building (RWB) has adequate space for onsite storage for various solid waste containers plus space for mobile processing equipment.

The SRWS includes the WSW system, DSW system, mixed waste system, and an onsite storage area.

The design basis source term identified in Section 11.1 forms the basis for the shielding design. The shield wall thickness evaluation assumes that the spent filters and spent resins fully loaded using the design basis source term. Section 12.3 discusses additional details on the shielding design.

The wet and dry radioactive solid waste packaged for offsite shipment and disposal complies with the requirements of 10 CFR 61.55, 10 CFR 61.56, 10 CFR 71 and 49 CFR 171-180, as applicable.

Onsite storage allows for radioactive decay with adequate storage in case of processing, maintenance or transportation delays. Onsite storage is adequate to hold solid waste for at least 30 days in accordance with ANSI/ANS-55.1-1992 (Reference 11.4-1) and BTP 11-3. The SRWS meets the design recommendations of BTP 11-3.

The SRWS and associated handling areas have area radiation monitoring equipment to detect excessive radiation or airborne levels and initiate appropriate alarms and procedural actions to maintain radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Section 12.3 provides additional information on area radiation monitors.

4.1 System Description The SRWS is a nonsafety-related system, serves no safety-related functions, and is not risk-significant. Table 11.4-5 identifies SSC classifications for the SRWS. The SRWS is designed to

  • collect, process, sample, package, and store WSW generated from the chemical and volume control system (CVCS), pool cooling and cleanup system, and liquid radioactive waste system (LRWS), using both permanently installed and mobile equipment in the SRWS.
  • collect, segregate, sample, package, and store compactible and non-compactible DSW.
  • collect, sample, segregate, package, and ship mixed and oily wastes.
  • provide sufficient storage space for packaged solid wastes.
  • process and package waste into disposal containers that are approved by the Department of Transportation and are acceptable to licensed waste disposal facilities for offsite shipment and burial.

cale US460 SDAA 11.4-1 Revision 1

  • transfer liquid wastes to the RWDS or LRWS.

The SRWS design handles three types of generated wastes: WSWs, DSWs, and miscellaneous wastes.

The boundaries of the SRWS begin at the connection to a particular waste stream source and end at the packaged waste container offsite shipment. For WSW, these connections usually involve flanged joints, and boundary valves at the system inlets.

For DSW, the boundaries are not always physical because much of DSW is collected from a variety of locations and transported through corridors to the solid radioactive waste sorting area.

For spent resins and granular activated charcoal, the SRWS starts downstream of the boundary valve from each demineralizer and carbon bed. Operators sluice spent resin into the SRSTs or PSTs for decay, and to waste containers.

For spent cartridge filters, the SRWS starts at the filter extraction point. Operators remove the spent filter from the filter housing and place it in a shielded spent filter transfer cask.

4.1.1 Dry Solid Waste Dry solid waste includes heating ventilation and air conditioning filters, tools and equipment, used personnel protective equipment, rags, paper, wood and miscellaneous cleaning supplies. Figure 11.4-1 summarizes the DSW handling and storage operation.

During some anticipated operational occurrences, such as refueling, the rate of DSW generation is higher than during normal operations. Major equipment items, such as core components and containment vessel components, are not processed in the SRWS.

4.1.2 Wet Solid Waste The WSW processing system receives and processes three major waste streams:

  • radioactive spent resin and spent charcoal
  • spent cartridge filters
  • filter membranes and reverse osmosis The WSW is homogenized, sampled, and analyzed to classify the waste in accordance with 10 CFR 61. Operators transfer spent resin and spent charcoal to high integrity containers (HICs) that are connected to a dewatering system located inside a confined enclosure.

Operators cap and seal containers after dewatering, and survey and decontaminate the containers, as necessary, to meet 49 CFR 173 requirements.

cale US460 SDAA 11.4-2 Revision 1

or other suitable containers and transfer the containers to the SRWS area for processing and storage.

In accordance with BTP 11-3, components and piping that contain slurries have flushing capabilities via the LRW clean-in-place skid or directly from the demineralized water break tank. The spent resin storage and PSTs are ASME Section VIII tanks that can use compressed service air to pressurize the tanks and pneumatically transport resin to a HIC. The associated pressure relief valves on the spent resin storage and PSTs are vented to the tank's cubicle, which are vented to the RWBVS. The hooded vents on the SRWS PST and SRST consist of tank vent piping that terminates below a vent hood and directs air into the RWBVS. The vent piping exiting the storage tanks contains an internal screen designed to prevent solids (i.e., resin) from escaping. An air gap between the tank vent piping and the vent hood minimizes contamination from entering the RWBVS. Liquid overflow flows out of a vent pipe into shielded cubicles lined with stainless steel.

Figure 11.4-2a and Figure 11.4-2b are process flow diagrams of the spent resin handling system.

To avoid the generation of explosive gas mixtures and exothermic reactions, the upstream systems (LRWS, pool cooling and cleanup system, CVCS) that transfer resins to the SRST or phase separator tank (PST) do not use chemicals (e.g.,

nitrates, nitrites) that can generate exothermic reactions with resins.

The main source of oily waste is expected to come from floor drains. Operators direct the oil to the SRWS from the LRWS oil separators and manually collect it in drums. The drums of contaminated oil are sent to an offsite treatment facility.

4.1.3 Mixed Waste Handling Mixed waste is a combination of radioactive waste mixed with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act-listed hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261 Subpart D. The generation of mixed waste volume is expected to be low. Mixed waste can only be disposed of in a permitted mixed waste disposal facility.

Operators collect mixed waste near the source and transfer in drums to a permitted facility.

4.1.4 Packaging, Storage, and Shipping The Process Control Program (PCP) classifies waste as Class A, Class B, Class C, or greater than Class C in accordance with 10 CFR 61.55 and 10 CFR 61.56.

Table 11.4-2 and Table 11.4-3 provide the expected annual volumes of solid waste and shipment offsite estimates. The packaging and shipment of radioactive solid waste for disposal complies with 10 CFR 20, Appendix G, 10 CFR 61.56, and 49 CFR 173, Subpart I.

cale US460 SDAA 11.4-3 Revision 1

on the upper level for Class A waste. At the expected waste generation rates, there is storage capacity for at least 30 days.

The design and construction of SRWS components are in compliance with the codes and standards provided in RG 1.143. Each component is classified as RW-IIa, RW-IIb or RW-IIc based on the radionuclide content compared against the A1 and A2 values tabulated in 10 CFR 71, Appendix A. The safety classification for the SRWS components applies to components, up to and including the nearest isolation device. Table 11.4-1 provides design parameters for each of the major components.

4.1.4.1 Piping and Valves The SRWS piping material is stainless steel and is butt-welded to minimize crud traps. Backing rings are not allowed in SRWS piping. Slurry transport lines are sized to maintain a flow velocity to prevent the slurry from settling and utilize bends of five pipe diameter radius. Slurry lines are also sloped to promote complete drainage and are connected to the clean-in-place skid and directly to the demineralized water break tank to allow flushing and cleaning of SRWS piping and components after batch operations. Piping is also arranged to minimize tees, pipe branches, and dead legs. The SRWS valves are stainless steel, remote air-operated valves. Valves in slurry transfer lines are full-ported ball valves and liquid process valves are diaphragm valves.

4.1.4.2 Dewatering System The dewatering system is a skid-based, vendor-supplied package that removes free-standing water from waste packages to meet transportation and disposal requirements. The fillhead portion of the dewatering system includes an exhaust vent with high-efficiency particulate air filtration routed to the Radioactive Waste Building HVAC system (RWBVS) to control airborne contamination. Liquid removed by the dewatering system is routed to the LRWS low-conductivity waste collection tank. The dewatering system and associated connections to permanent plant equipment, including non-contaminated utilities, complies with IE Bulletin 80-10, Regulatory Guide 1.143, ANSI/ANS-55.1-1992 (Reference 11.4-1), and ANSI/ANS-40.37-2009 (Reference 11.4-2).

4.1.5 Effluent Controls The SRWS does not release effluents directly to the environment. Liquids removed from solid waste processing are transferred to the LRWS for further processing.

During the operation of the SRWS, such as processing and packaging solid waste, the expelled air is captured by the RWBVS to prevent unmonitored contamination being released to the environment.

cale US460 SDAA 11.4-4 Revision 1

Because the SRWS does not release effluents to the environment, a cost-benefit analysis is not performed separately from the evaluations in Section 11.2 and Section 11.3.

4.1.7 Mobile or Temporary Equipment The design of SRWS includes modular equipment (e.g., spent resin dewatering system) and options for additional mobile equipment (e.g., shredders, laundry unit). The purpose of modular and mobile equipment is to provide ease of equipment replacement due to either advances in treatment technologies or equipment problems.

4.2 Radioactive Effluent Releases The SRWS sends liquid and gaseous effluents to the LRWS and RWBVS, respectively. As a result, other than solid waste shipments offsite, the SRWS does not release effluents directly to the environment. The contributions to the offsite dose consequences from SRWS are included in the evaluations for LRW and gaseous radioactive waste systems in Section 11.2 and Section 11.3.

The SRWS design complies with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1406. Section 12.3 discusses the SRWS design features to prevent the spread of contamination, facilitate decommissioning, and reduce the generation of radioactive waste.

The PCP follows the guidance of Nuclear Energy Institute 07-10A (Reference 11.4-3).

The PCP describes the administrative and operational controls used for the solidification of liquid or WSW and the dewatering of WSW.

4.3 Malfunction Analysis To demonstrate the design's resistance to failures, a malfunction analysis is performed. Table 11.4-4 summarizes this malfunction analysis.

4.4 Testing and Inspection Requirements The SRWS is tested during plant pre-operations to ensure operation of components and processes as discussed in Section 14.2. During plant operations, the periodic testing and inspection requirements of RG 1.143 are performed to support continued proper operation of components.

The process and effluent radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling design features provide the ability to detect and determine the content and, where required, the concentration and release rate of radioactive material in various gaseous and liquid process and effluent streams. The design features facilitate radiation monitoring and control, archiving, alarm functions and, where required, isolation and actuation functions to support the design objectives of the related system. The monitoring of in-plant radiation and airborne radioactivity is performed by the area radiation monitoring instrumentation described in Section 12.3.4.

  • Figure 11.5-5 provides a process radiation in-line detection drawing.
  • Figure 11.5-6 provides a plant exhaust stack effluent radiation detection drawing.

Monitoring and operator response for effluent and process radiation monitors is performed in accordance with site procedures. Controls ensure that gaseous effluent content meet the objectives of 10 CFR 50 Appendix I and 10 CFR 20 before being released into the environment, and ensures compliance with GDC 60, 63, and 64.

Setpoints for radiation alarms (Section 11.5.1.2) and automated function initiation (Section 11.5.1.3) are based on ensuring that the limitations of 10 CFR 20 and 10 CFR 50 are met for plant conditions. Additionally, the alarms and isolations ensure compliance with GDC 60, 61, 63 and 64, and the applicable 10 CFR 20 and 10 CFR 50 requirements and limitations.

The ability to isolate and sample potentially contaminated systems ensures compliance to the occupation exposure limits in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1201 and 10 CFR 20.1202, and limits the spread of contamination per 10 CFR 20.1406.

Stack flow measurement capability supports the consideration of atmospheric dispersion (/Q) and deposition (D/Q) factors when developing alarm setpoints.

The RBVS plant exhaust stack flow rate and noble gas, particulate, and halogen activity indications are post-accident monitoring system variables as described in Table 7.1-7.

An installed mechanical liquid grab sampler located downstream of the CES sample vessel allows for the samples to be taken and analyzed in the laboratory for a more finite definition of the radionuclide content of the condensate, and to serve as a redundant means of measuring process radiation level. The mechanical sampler is designed to conform with RGs 8.8 and 8.10 and enhance plant staff capability to meet ALARA goals and contamination control in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1406. Compliance with RG 1.45 requirements and the capabilities of the CES sample vessel are discussed in Section 5.2.5.

Conditions System Condition System Response Radiation Detected If high radiation is detected in the auxiliary boiler system skid vents, skid drains, or steam header drains, then the auxiliary boiler superheater skid outlet valve closes, auxiliary boiler skid to superheater skid valve closes, the module-specific main steam to auxiliary boiler header valves close, and the MCR receives an alarm.

S High Radiation Upon alarm, the wastewater collection tank pumps are shut down, the discharge isolation valves directing the disposition of the water are both closed, and manual intervention is initiated. The chemical waste collection tank is also monitored for radiation and upon radiation detection, the two affected chemical waste collection tank pumps are disabled and the two affected discharge isolation valves are closed. The radiation monitor alarms in the main control room for action and the RWBS control for information and an operator is dispatched to assess the situation.

High Radiation Upon detection, the Purge Gas Supply to the vacuum pumps are shut off and that discharge path is switched from the RBVS to the GRWS valve. The SA Connection valve receives a close signal.

Radiation Detection Spent resin being sent to the condensate polisher resin regeneration skid and the regeneration sump are monitored for radiation. If radiation is detected, a local alarm and an alarm in the MCR alerts operations staff.

S High Radiation levels continue Upon detection of a "high" radiation level in the to degrade outside air intake, the system is realigned so that 100 percent of the outside air passes through the or CRVS filter unit, containing HEPA and charcoal filters, to filter outside air and minimize radiation exposure to Radiation monitor power loss personnel with the CRB.

If power is not available to either CRVS AHU or to any of the four EDS-C battery chargers (after a 10-minute time delay), or if levels of radiation greater than 10 times background in the CRE supply air duct or if toxic gas is detected in the CRE supply air duct, the PPS automatically isolates the CRE from the adjacent areas by closing the redundant CRE isolation dampers). The time delay is to allow operators time to restore power and start the stand-by AHU. The operating supply AHU and associated components, the general exhaust fan, and the battery exhaust fan are also turned off and the CRH is automatically initiated. The CRH provides a supply of breathable air for the CRE occupants and maintains the CRE at a positive pressure with respect to the surrounding areas. The heat sink capacity of surrounding structures of the CRE helps maintain the temperature in the CRE within acceptable tolerances.

If required, the main steam lines can be manually isolated from the MCR. Additionally, the MSS drain pots automatically isolate during high radiation for both normal operation or when a MPS isolation signal is present in order to ensure that the MSS does not contribute to unmonitored release of high radioactivity to the environment in the event of an abnormal tube leak. High radiation detection provides an alarm in the control room. If the drain pots and/or isolation valves to the ACC CCT are open, they close. Operator action from the MCR can isolate the MS lines, if required.

S High Radiation Alarm in MCR to initiate appropriate safety actions.
